Snack stick

I have a bunch of 88 12 chop meat about 10-12 lbs and I have a bunch of pork bellies and pork butts. Can I add either ground pork belly or pork butt to get the fat content to get 20lbs of meat for stuffing or will I need to add more pork fat?

Kshekailo919 Yeah you can absolutely do that. My recommendation would be to try to get some back fat as the fat from bellies tends to be a little softer/mushier but that is personal preference, you can absolutely go ahead with what you have and you will be happy!

Kshekailo919 as Jonathon said will work great. Check with your butch and see if you can buy some pork trimmings. Bacon works well in finely ground or emulsified sausages, IMHO.

Ok that sounds like a plan. I have a #32 grinder so I can have the meat near frozen and grind it so it doesn’t smear
